Constipation is one of the very common and sometimes chronic (very old) intestinal problems, where the stool is passed infrequently or the consistency of the stool is too hard. Sometimes this problem arises due to faulty dietary habits, negligence towards the urge of defaecation. Sometimes constipation is caused by dryness, decreased intestinal movement, nervine weakness etc. Constipation is called mother of all diseases, it develops many other gastro-intestinal problems as well as many psychosocial problems.
